 In order to use Docker commands (such as `docker run`), Earthly makes available isolated Docker daemons which are started and stopped on-demand. The reason for using isolated instances of Docker daemons is such that no preexisting Docker state (e.g. images, containers, networks, volumes) can influence the way the build executes. This allows Earthly to achieve high degrees of reproducibility.

-`--load test:latest=+build` takes the image produced by the target `+build` and loads it into the Docker daemon created by `WITH DOCKER` as the image with the tag `test:latest`. The tag can then be used to reference this image in other docker commands, such as `docker run`.

 It's recommended to use the `earthly/dind:alpine` image for running docker-in-docker. See the best-practices' section on using [with docker](../best-practices/best-practices.md#use-earthly-dind) for more details.
 
+In cases when using `earthly/dind` is not possible, Earthly will attempt to install Docker in the image you have chosen. This has the drawback of not being able to use cache efficiently and is not recommended for performance reasons.
+
+Another option is to use the Earthly UDC `INSTALL_DIND`. This will install Docker in the build environment, but you can control at what point in the build it happens, thus being able to optimize your cache use. For example:
+
+```Dockerfile
+FROM my-image:latest
+DO github.com/earthly/lib+INSTALL_DIND
+COPY ./docker-compose.yml ./
+WITH DOCKER ...
+    ...
+END
+```
+
+In the above example, the `INSTALL_DIND` command is executed before the `COPY` command, thus ensuring that the Docker installation is cached and reused for subsequent builds when the file `docker-compose.yml` changes.
